Porto Marina Hotel

Porto Marina Hotel

📍 Vereda La Cristalina Finca La Virginia, Guatape, Penol
★★★★ 8.8 (66 reviews)

"They were so kind and wonderful! The view was amazing! However, there was a heavy rain the day we stayed, so you might want to be prepared for it to be quite difficult to get from the front desk to your room on a rainy day. Our room also leaked... (I don't think it's a problem with normal rain. It was really heavy rain when we stayed.) The breakfast was great, so next time I'd like to eat it on the terrace in my room while enjoying the beautiful view."

★★★★ 9.3 (62 reviews)

"This was such a disappointment. We thought we are going to book a chill resort for a few days but to be honest it was not chill at all. The vibe is all about influencers making the best shots for the followers. The reception is really terrible, not 1 word of English is spoken. Normally not a big problem but they don’t really try to understand you. Food was ok but really overpriced for what you get, facilities looks nice but if you look closer to the jacuzzi for example then it is really dirty water. In earlier comments it was already mentioned so they probably don’t do anything with it. The room was nice decorated but the finishing of the bathroom was definitely not 5 stars. The room didn’t got cleaned and we only received one small bottle of free water. They say that they have super fast internet, this really was not the case. We try to watch something in the room and most of the times it was buffering. We thought on our last day that we would like to chill a bit after check out. This was not possible because they had a load of influencers claiming every spot near the pool. I think it was about promoting themselves. Nothing bad with that off course but do it out of sight of normal paying guests. If you have 20K followers on instagram this is your place to go. If you just want to chill and don’t want to be on everyone’s insta feed don’t come here."

The Boato Hotel

The Boato Hotel

📍 Vía Vda. Palestina, Penol
★★★★ 9.1 (65 reviews)

"Our family stayed at the Boato Hotel during our visit to Guatapé in February and really enjoyed the peaceful setting and beautiful surroundings. The hotel is in a great location right by the reservoir. We felt safe during our stay, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We especially loved having access to the water. Kayaking and paddleboarding on the reservoir were highlights for the whole family. It was a great way to relax and enjoy the stunning views. The hotel is located on a hillside, so be prepared for a fair bit of uphill walking between the rooms and common areas. It was manageable but worth noting, especially for families with younger kids. One thing to be aware of is that there are no food options nearby. You’ll need to either eat at the onsite restaurant or arrange transport into town, which is a bit of a drive. The food at the hotel was good, but having more flexibility would have been nice. Overall, Boato Hotel was a lovely and memorable stay for our family. It is a peaceful, scenic spot that's perfect if you're looking to relax and enjoy nature."

★★★★ 9.7 (23 reviews)

"We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff were super accommodating, kind, and welcoming - they did everything possible to meet our every need. The room was very comfortable and well-appointed with everything you might need (including a hair dryer); the beds were so plush and soft and blankets perfect; and we loved eating at the restaurant - the food was delicious, fresh, and accommodated the two vegans in our family. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "

Atma Boutique Hotel Guatapé

"The nicest place we stayed in Colombia. We had a wonderful 3 days here. The staff could not have been more helpful. The rooms were gorgeous with extremely comfortable beds. A very happy 3 days with watersports on the lake and climbing the rock."

Domus Glamping - Guatapé Hotels in Penol

Domus Glamping - Guatapé

"What an amazing experience! From start to finish the service at this place is great! We stayed in Globe Suite 6! The hot tub was well worth it and the view, spectacular. Leo was the best. He never skipped a beat in ensuring everything was taken care of. He set up our water activities, meal deliveries, etc. David and the young lady at the desk were also wonderful. We had many great conversations at the bar when coming and going from the hotel. We felt extremely safe our entire stay. Highly recommend this place. "

Levit Glamping - Hotel Guatapé Peñol Hotels in Penol

Levit Glamping - Hotel Guatapé Peñol

"I want to start this out by saying I don't not blame the people who work there, they did all they could to try and salvage a miserable Valentines day excursion. I wanted to have a special romantic day with my girlfriend, but it was impossible at Levit glamping. The individual areas where you stay are sub-standard, the little pods where you sleep are tiny, I am not a large person and neither is my partner, but the pods feel more like a trap than a love nest, but that is not the big problem. The big problem is NOISE. All of the little are right on top of each other and you can hear everything that is going on in the area next to you and in the kitchen and dining area that is right next to our "romantic" love nest. Within a 5 minute time I could clearly hear the kitchen workers, a romantic comedy with drew barrymore and Adam Sandler, a couple worried about their son and a woman moaning with pleasure. It was if the pods were not out in the woods, but smack dab in the middle of Grand Central Station in NYC. It reminded me more of being in a youth hostel or army barracks, not a secluded romantic valentines day spot. We tried to leave, but because it was dark the boat could not take us to the mainland. We ended up sleeping in the workers cabin because it was so much quieter than the pod and the "highlight" of the trip was when somone's Burmese Mountain came in through the dog door and crawled into bed with us. We left first thing in the morning and headed back to Medellin. If you're exhibitionist, this might be the perfect place, bit if you want to go to Guatupe on Valentines day for a romantic evening, I would suggest you look for alternatives,"

La Pausa Hotelbistro Hotels in Penol

"This place was amazing! My wife and I stayed just a couple of nights but we felt like we were on our second honeymoon. They really live up to their name, “The Pause.” We were able to disconnect fully while not even leaving the cabin. The service was exceptional. We communicated our room service orders via WhatsApp and the staff was at our cabin within minutes. We enjoyed the open air hot tub a lot and the blackout curtains allowed us to sleep in undisturbed. In the mornings we’d press a button so that the remote control curtains would open up slowly revealing our amazing view of the mountains and water. During the day we enjoyed kayaking from our private dock and waving at the wonderful people on the boats passing by. We also enjoyed the food which was exceptional. This place was a dream for us. We would definitely return."

Vivanti Resort ★★★★
"Terrible experience! We booked 4 rooms including what they call the presidential suite. We had water coming inside the room from the ceiling 4 out of the 5 nights. We lost power on the 4 day but they would not turn on their generator for 45 minutes, no way down from the third floor except via the emergency stairs which happened to be inside our “presidential suite”. So of course all the guests had to go through our room in order to access the emergency exit. The food at their restaurant was ok but many times cold. We stayed over a long weekend in which they sell day passes and this made the place crowded and the service even slower. The lack of accountability from the staff was disappointing to say the least. As a Colombian native I visit Medellin at least twice a year and have stayed in different resorts in the area but this was by far the worst experience Ive had."
